Hehe, I know the feeling. I still have couple of series left though, so going to enjoy that!

Thanks for the recommendation, going to check it out.

I have it, it’s on my list of Era 2 books. Thanks for the recommendation!

Ahan, thanks for the recommendation! Will see if they have something at our local bookshop.

Ahan, interesting. 6 months is a very short time for me, since I generally take read 1-2 books a month max.

I have already read Skyward, did it earlier this year (or was it last year?), looking forward to the sequel series, wonder where they will take it from here.

I just finished Die Trying, and while I enjoyed it, there wasn’t too much action in first three quarters, Reacher was very passive in this one. It made sense as per the story, and it was still interesting, but I wasn’t expecting that.

As for the tech, the books are bit old, so that could be the reason, but I generally don’t think too deeply about these things, unless it’s central to the story. Have come across incorrect tech stuff often in the books.

Nice! I have only read her Earthsea books, so do share what you read and how you like it.

Well, I am not a writer, but from what I have read, there are all kind of writers. Some take ton of time and have the whole book (or series) ready before writing a single word, while others plan as they write. They all go through revisions though, and everyone say a good editor is really important.

As for writing long form, I recall reading someone’s opinion that you should start with short stories, instead of writing full length novel or long series from the get go. This was more about when you are honing your skill, instead of your first published work, from what I recall, but that is one person’s opinion in some specific context (that I don’t completely recall) so take it for it’s worth.

Funny is not the word I associate with Stephen King. Will have to check it out.

Going to continue the series?

Viva la Deathlands!

I am pretty much caught up on Cosmere, only Mistborn Era 2 was remaining, but that’s what the re-reads are for. I still haven’t read his Reckoners series though, should start it after Mistborn,

I just started next Reacher book too! Though, I have only read the first book yet so my next book is Die Trying.

I have to re-read Stormlight Archives, so probably won’t be getting the fifth book before the end of next year.

Ah, he is the guy who wrote Mars trilogy! They have been on my wishlist for over a decade. Will check it out.

I just finished The Kaiju Preservation Society last week, a really fun book. Have heard great things about Starter Villain too. Enjoy!

Yeah, I loved Mistborn, but I was just not sure if I will enjoy the re-read, still loved it. Not a perfect book, but a pretty good one.

Oh, cool. Thanks for the recommendation! I am going to get his standalone books too, Starter Villain and Red Shirts specifically, but also want to checkout his biggest series.

Artifact Space sounds interesting. Would wait for your 100% finished update.

Would love to get more recommendations 😀

Yeah, there are lots of Sanderson fans here. Which of his books have you read yet and which ones are remaining?

It’s part of 2nd era for me. That’s the reason I delayed reading the 2nd era so much, wanted it to completely finish before jumping into it.

Without knowing what your kid has read or likes, here’s some info about my kid:

My kid is currently reading:

• Jeff Kinney’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid
• Zanib Mian’s Meet the Maliks series
• Zanib Mian’s Planet Omar series
• Marcus Rashford’s The Breakfast Club Adventures series

All of these have illustrations though. I feel Diary of a Wimpy kid has most of them, while rest have less, but they still have them. You should take a look to see if that’s acceptable.

Other books/series I have been recommended here, but haven’t started yet:

• R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps
• Brandon Sanderson’s Alcatraz vs The Evil Librarians
• Eion Cofler’s Artemis Fowl
• B. B. Alston’s Supernatural Investigations

You can solve the problem by removing “only” from your sentence. “I have so much reading time!”

Yeah, I took a look at his whole bibliography then went with KPS to check out how he writes, will probably be getting most of his books.

Lud-In-The-Mist looks interesting. Is it linked with any of her previous book?
